About

We all have our comfort blankets and coping mechanisms. And if yours happens to be wearing a full-sized rabbit onesie (with ears), what's the problem? You're not bothering anyone. At least, not until you're photographed at the back of a child's funeral. Dressed as a rabbit. And the photo goes viral.
Rose Heiney's “Original Death Rabbit” is a painfully funny play, shining a light on one woman's struggle with the dark side of the internet. Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, the play received its stage premiere at Jermyn Street Theatre, London, in January 2019.

The Reviews Hub
"'Queasily exposes the mental trauma that comes with internet fame... a really good script from Heiney, it has so much to say, so many important observations'"
The Stage
"'An utter avalanche of beautiful and often profane language... incisive and very funny'"
